Inspector-General of Defence Bill

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This bill establishes the offices of Inspector-General of Defence and Deputy Inspector-General of Defence to assist the Minister of Defence to oversee the Defence Force and account accurately to the House of Representatives for its activities, and to assure the public that the activities of the Defence Force are subject to independent scrutiny.
